    Torque, Iα = ƒ. R.
    Using Newton's IInd law, mg sin θ – ƒ = ma
    ∵ pure rolling is there, a = Rα

    ⇒ mg sin θ -
    = ma
    R

    ⇒ mg sin θ -
    Ia
    = ma

    ∵ α =
    a
    R
    αβ

    or, acceleration, a =
    mg sin θ
    I/R² + m

    Using, s = ut +
    1
    at²
    2

    or, s =
    1
    at² ⇒ t α
    1
    2a

    t minimum means a should be more. This is possible when I is minimum which is the case for solid cylinder.
    Therefore, solid cylinder will reach the bottom first.
